The University of Louisville football program had the perfect night to showcase some new faces at the 2009 Spring Game Friday evening. Under a cloudless sky, against a backdrop of a rapidly progressing stadium expansion project, the Defense defeated the Offense, 37-28.

There was an air of unfamiliarity surrounding the last scrimmage of the spring session. Steve Kragthorpe was the new man calling the plays, new defensive coordinator Brent Guy patrolled the sidelines, and a host of new faces introduced themselves to a crowd of more than 15,300 Cardinal fans.
